Finding Your Center in Eclipse Season

We’re suspended in the luminous pause, halfway between eclipses. It's a tipping point, shifting from mutable Water to mutable Earth. No wonder it feels a little shaky, unmoored, maybe even disorienting.

I wanted to offer you a compass. A few reminders you can return to whenever you feel like you’ve lost touch with solid ground.

We hear a lot about grounding. It’s good medicine - I practice it, I love it, it works. But what if we reached a little deeper? What if instead of only grounding, we asked: Am I centered?

Close your eyes for a moment. Picture your seven chakras, running like a column of light through you. What’s happening there right now? Do they feel aligned, bright, open, resonant? Or a little off-kilter?

It’s no surprise if they’re wobbly. The world can be a storm of extremes, pulling, pushing, dividing. Media spins, judgments constrict. Every time we snap, or shut down, or act out of tune with integrity and grace, we slip out of center.

Here’s the pivot: Instead of blaming the world for being less kind or less loving than we want… we pause. We breathe. We recalibrate. We come home to center.

Think of your spine. When it’s out of alignment, everything strains. But when it’s supported, fluid, nourished, you move with strength and ease. Your energy body works the same way. Adjust your reactions, release rigid judgments, let outdated beliefs soften, and your whole being begins to align.

Notice the extremes in your thoughts, feelings, or beliefs. Those are signals—showing you where you’ve abandoned your intuition, your dignity, your own deep knowing. Every time you bring yourself back to center, life meets you differently.

This week, sit with these questions in meditation or journaling:

• Which areas of my life feel most out of harmony? What’s one thing I could shift today to invite alignment?

• Where am I overextending, sacrificing my well-being, ignoring my intuition? What insight could I follow instead?

• What am I denying myself that would nourish a better life?

• What am I tolerating that quietly harms me?

As we approach the Virgo Eclipse, Earth itself is reshaping. We can do the same. When you live in alignment, the ground always rises to meet you - with clarity, with confidence, with momentum for the path ahead.

Find your center first. Then find the ground.
